Our band used only 57s and 58s for years. Built like tanks. Likely impossible to find a group that didn't use them.
I agree.....time tested to be s(h)ure.

That's all we used too.
During my live band days I had (7) of them. (1974-1980)
(3) Congas: (1) SM57 for each, mic'd at the bottom sound hole.
Trap set: (1) overhead, one on kick, one on snare
For my vocals: one 57 at the conga setup - one Unisphere 1 PE50SP and the trap set.
I sold most of them some years ago....kept one 57 and my Unisphere.
My Unisphere 1 (purchased 1974) has a small dent in the mesh ball.
Probably dropped at some gig but it still works just fine.
Ahh....the memories.
A good to all....
